I just attempted to order a new cell phone. We shall see how this goes. I still have the old phone until then and lately I am making actual attempts to keep it charged and on me at all times - and this is a direct result of DRAMA in my office of late - we have houses burning to the ground, major surgeries, breakups and intrigue and just... well I have to actually be available lately, so if you need me and you have the old number - it still works until I tell you otherwise.

Just, don't, you know - actually call me. Cause I hate talking on the thing and everytime I hear it ring I assume someone is sick or having a baby right this minute.

And the reason I hate being on the telephone is not because I hate people. I normally love and am fascinated by people - even people without superpowers. I just hate the telephone. The telephone is my nemesis - my foil. We are engaged in an endless battle of wits and wiles, destined to be locked in the other's disdain and hate until finally one day, we realize our folly.

Wow - we are kind of like Clark/Lex in a way.

Now I realize that my hate was actually masking my extreme love for my phone! I should totally stalk my phone and maybe I could just devote the front room of my apartment to, like, a cell shrine or something? If I was confined to a scary asylum unjustly and against my will - I bet my cell phone would stage an escape that would be ultimately unsuccessful, but no less heartbreaking.

And then the lies just got to be too much and I just snapped and that is why I think I hate my phone, but I don't cause look at it! How can I hate it? It is blue. I love blue.

I hate the phone. We went without one for three weeks this past month, and the quiet and lack of telemarketing has been blissful. I like to call OUT.

LOL!

I'm terrified of the phone.

I don't mind calling people I know, that's not a big deal. People I call all the time, totally okay. People I don't know or don't call that often, I am *terrified* of calling. I just stare at the phone and will it to call itself and have the entire conversation without me.

Hah! Me too. I'm like... my parents or friends, no problem. Everyone else... meep!

Of course, I love my cell phone, because I can textmessage people on it, which is fun. And it takes pictures! Pictures!

My favorite line from the movie The Station Agent: "I hate phones. I have two of them. I don't answer either one."
